Discussion of these changes can be found on the Mercury developers
mailing list archives from June 2018.
COPYING.LIB:
Add a special linking exception to the LGPL.
*:
Update references to COPYING.LIB.
Clean up some minor errors that have accumulated in copyright
messages.
browser/percent_encoding.m:
Make this module a submodule of mdb.m. Without this, the Mercury compiler
creates symbol names for its exported predicates that do not begin with
one of the prefixes reserved for the Mercury implementation, thus
potentially clashing with symbols that may be used by user code.
browser/mdb.m:
Add the new module to this package.
browser/term_to_html.m:
Update the import of percent_encoding.m.
browser/browse.m:
Add save_and_browse_browser_term_web to be called when
"browse --web" is entered at the mdb prompt.
Add browser_term_to_html_flat_string, a helper predicate for
term_to_html.
Make portray_flat_write_browser_term work take a stream parameter
instead of writing to the current output stream. It is called by
browser_term_to_html_flat_string, writing to a string builder
stream.
browser/browser_info.m:
Add web_browser_cmd field to browser_persistent_state.
browser/mdb.m:
browser/term_to_html.m:
Add new module to generate an HTML document. The document contains a
JavaScript represention of a Mercury term.
(The JavaScript string escaping code is adapted from Julien's
mercury-json project.)
browser/percent_encoding.m:
Add new module to perform percent-encoding.
scripts/mdb_term_browser.css:
scripts/mdb_term_browser.js:
